2004-04-20[Ocean Dreaming]: Maybe we should start considering splitting the page up like most of the other title pages?..

2004-04-24[Cristina]: *rises eyebrow* not yet, compare this with the daily_poem page! It's not really that long...

2004-04-24[Cristina]:The user [der hardcore] has been removed from this page. His badges have also been taken away from him. Reason? Taking credit for poems he did not do. Shame on him!!

2004-04-24[Ocean Dreaming]: It's no good comparing it to the daily poem pages. The only time they get split up is when the pages are full. I was comparing the page to other 'name collecting' pages. ^-^;;

2004-04-25[Cristina]: :-P I know but it makes our life easier the way it is right now... without being split *pokes nose and hides*

2004-05-05[Doormat]: its poetry dueling arena...but we should make a special one for daily poems only :D

2004-05-07[Kiddalee]: If only [Cristina] would tell me. Hmmm, if 2 stars means 2 poems, then that means there is no need for anybody to have one star.

2004-05-08[Ocean Dreaming]: Your name here indicates one poem, afaik. So two stars is three poems.

2004-05-09[Starna]: ....I only have had 2 poems up, but have 2 stars indicating 3 poems. Also... should there not be a link to this page on the Daily Poem page? I thought there used to be one, but there is not currently a link there. Confused me, and I had to search and search to get back here.

2004-05-10[Ocean Dreaming]: Disagreement between me and True. We're waiting for Cristina to return and explain the whole star system to us. Dunno about the link. Never saw it :/ Will ask Cristina. ^-^

2004-05-11[Anonymous]: Name=1 poem= Green Badge; 1star=2 poems; 2stars= 3 poems = Coloured Badge; 3stars= 4 poems; 4stars= 5 poems= Master Poets. I think it is that way. The "*" are just a way to know easily how many poems a person has ;)

2004-05-14[Ocean Dreaming]: Can I ask you if you remember what poems were featured on the Daily Poem? And if you do what the titles were?

2004-05-15[Kiddalee]: Well, whaddaya know. I did a search and it says that only 2 of them got in: Happy, poem#39, modded by [Mistaya], dated as 2003-02-02; Weep Diamonds (or For Those Who Weep Diamonds), poem#15, modded by [Mistaya], dated as 2003-01-03, when my nickname was still Agapé (and if you like I can send you a forum posting proving that my name used to be Agapé); Then maybe I shouldn't have 2 stars which it seems ~would~ otherwise give me a coloured badge...

2004-05-15[Ocean Dreaming]: Naw... I think the research for who was who is concluded already ;) Ah well... It'll be sorted out. *points up* Like said True and I had some confusion about the matter.

2004-05-15[Kiddalee]: Some 2-starrers have coloured badges, and some don't.

2004-05-15[Ocean Dreaming]: *points up again* It'll be sorted out, just not now. I have no clue how.

2004-07-12[True, plain and simple]: The star-system will be worked out within the next few days, when I have time to check all of the poets. (Just as a general note)

2004-09-03[Anonymous]: A link to the master poets wiki should be added :) It used to be here before ;)

2005-05-18[Hackworth]: I don't remember submitting a poem that made it onto the featured page... I've searched my messages and guestbook entries to see if I was notified. And I couldn't find anything. I'd like to know which poem it was that made it onto the front page, if it's at all possible. If it helps, I know that I made it on as [black pen], and which poem it was. But not for [Hackworth].

2005-05-18[True, plain and simple]: Someone's name may have changed, and the last time the page was editted Elftown defaulted to your name instead. I'll look into it later.

2005-05-18[Hackworth]: It ended up being a poem I submitted for the Halloween poem competition, but was too long for consideration. At some point after Halloween (2003, I think), they put it on the front page. Confusing, but it made me happy.

2005-05-21[Mikhul, the Bard]: I am the daily poet today! Im so happy. I submitted that thing a while back, though...I forgot about it...hahah!

2006-05-26[Lepellier]: wow there are alot of poem submiters... why is it that some of the members say homany they have had on the daily poem's but others dont. (i do mean only to those that have been on tehre more than once that is

2006-05-26[Lepellier]: wow there are alot of poem submiters... why is it that some of the members say homany they have had on the daily poem's but others dont. (i do mean only to those that have been on tehre more than once that is)

2006-05-26[Linderel]: Well, it's because the ones who don't have a number beside their name have only had their work featured once.

2006-05-26[Diiwica]: ... hmm, i havde submited more than one and it still says i have only submited one... but he lol

2006-05-27[Diiwica]: I know, I ws just comenting that i have been featured two times, Didnt say anything about not having it posted that i have been 2 times because i never really thought about it until it was mentioned by [Lepellier]

2006-05-27[Linderel]: There is a number beside your nickname, so I don't exactly see what you're talking about now. o.O You're in the wrong place on the list, though. *edits*

2006-05-28[Diiwica]: Eh some times i dont even know myself, But i just mentioned it because it was on my mind and all. I dont really see that it matters any if it says on my page how many time i have been on, i mean if members really want to know then they can take the time and come here and ead. but since [Lepellier] mentioneed it i just though i would add a though. i probably said that last comment when in kind of a daze any ol way

2006-05-28[Linderel]: Ahh, you mean in your badge slot. Sometimes we put the number there, sometimes we don't. There's not a rule about it. At least I don't think there is. :P

2006-08-18[Corazie]: Apart from clicking the "More Poems" link... Or a way to find the ones done by a specific writer?

2006-08-18[True, plain and simple]: You can, of course, search in the poems posted on Mainstreet. But if you want to search for poems written by a certain member, you'll need to use the member number instead of the username. :)

2007-04-20[Olwen]: What's this page all about?! Im not trying to be ignorant, I genuinly don't know! Thanks =)

2007-04-20[Linderel]: This is a list of people who have had their poems featured 1 to 4 times. Those with 5 or more poems featured are listed on the Master Poets page.

2007-06-26[Blakkduv]: I'm a daily poet. I have all 4 poems up. I've done 5. May I please have my name added. :) thank you.

2007-06-26[Linderel]: I do fear you have misunderstood the function of this page. This here is a list of the people whose work has been featured. Yours hasn't. Therefore, you are not one of the Daily Poets.

2008-05-17[Linderel]: Possibly. Though then it would be even more work to keep it alphabetical xD

2008-05-17[SilverFire]: I don't know how you do it at the moment, so ignore this if it's how you do it already, but if you you'd something like Microsoft Excel it would be relatively quick even with the separate pages. Just copy and paste the list of names, open Excel, highlight a column in Excel, and paste. It'll put every name in a separate cell. There's then a button you can use that will put the whole column in alphabetical order. Presto, done. :P All you do then is copy & paste back to the wikis.

2008-05-18[Linderel]: True.
For some reason I prefer manual labour o_O

2008-12-21[Rice]: I've had two poems up, but it doesn't say it next to my name. Do I add that myself or do I just wait for a poem boss to do so?

2008-12-21[Linderel]: Indeed. I must've forgotten to edit when I featured the second one, thank you for pointing that out.
And no, you don't add anything to this page yourself - you wouldn't be able to. :P

2011-03-10[Linderel]: Go to Daily Poem and post them there. Then you wait. Do make sure to read the rules first, though.

2011-03-23[kians mummy]: whats the guarentee of my poem being featured

2011-03-23[Linderel]: Well... there isn't a 100% guarantee, really. The best you can do is make sure your grammar and spelling are alright. Make sure you submit something you like, as opposed to merely posting for the sake of posting something. And then you'll just have to hope that one of the Bosses likes what you've written, or thinks other people might.

2011-08-06[hanhepi]:You can't access Elftown because your browser didn't send a session cookie correctly. Try one more time to log in! If that doesn't work make sure cookies are enabled! If you are using Internet Explorer look here!
guess it didn't like me clicking your link like that. doing a search with "DonnorPoem" in the badge area thing did finally bring up 640 members. i'd tried various searches, but guess i either spelled stuff wrong or forgot to set the "Seek among those who have been here since this time ago" section. (and we should probably phrase that section differently, i think)

2011-08-06[iippo]: Yeah the master badges have DonorPoem in the title, not donnor.

2011-08-06[hanhepi]: oh, i see how it is, those of us with less than 5 poems featured don't deserve properly spelled badges! :P ain't that some shit! never been so offended in all my life.
XD

2011-08-06[hanhepi]: it's worse than i thought, not just typoed, but named after the Donnor Party!

2011-08-06[Linderel]: There is a discrepancy, but I'm afraid that there's nothing much that can be done about it. If you go back far enough in the archive, let's say to before 2005, there'll be entries where the username is a broken link. Unless someone can figure out a way to sort that out, the discrepancy will stay. It also doesn't help that they started handing out badges in December 2003, much later than the feature itself began. So, yeah. Sorry about that, but I have no way to correct it.

2011-08-06[hanhepi]: that does make fixing it a real pain in the butt. :/

2011-08-06[Alexi Ice]: Those who have 5 poems featured on Main Street become Master Poets - This might help.

2011-08-06[kians mummy]: [Linderel] if you can find the link for me, please can you give it to me and I will see if I can sort it for you if you like. :)

2011-08-06[Flisky]: It's not quite that easy, Sammie. The daily poem has been going since 2002, and to even start trying to fix it you would have to go back to the first one and restart everything.

2014-08-05[Flisky]: That collaborations are not allowed and we do not steal art. Therefore, if you, Mortified Penguin, are claiming them, then I can only assume that perfumed ignition stole them and the poems in question must be discounted and ignition will lose his/her badge and poem count.

2014-08-05[Mortified Penguin]: You're still assuming we're two different people. If I'm Perfumed Ignition, then not a single rule was broken.

2014-08-05[Flisky]: Also you had more than four of your own poems on the page at once if you are not two people. Which, as you know, is against the rules. And then I'll have to take action. But I know Mortified Penguin would never break the rules like that.

2014-08-05[Mortified Penguin]: When were there more than four collective poems on the page?

2014-08-05[Flisky]: Back when I was first doing the Daily Poem. Because I'm the one who featured both Mortified Penguin and perfumed ignition for the first time. Those poems came from the same batch, if I recall correctly. And I'm pretty certain I do since I specifically pulled yours from the submission page to post it.

And as you can see, not a single poem was submitted by [Mortified Penguin] at that time.

2014-08-05[Flisky]: Good thing I got you to do my digging for me. I'm a little lazy at the moment. Just wanted to make sure you hadn't broken that rule if what you say is true.

But there's still the matter of the fact that another member's (be it you or not) poetry submissions cannot count towards yours. Remember having this discussion about another poem that you didn't want your name on and instead put someone else's? What happened there was that in the end no one got credit for that poem. Since that is the current precedence, I cannot change it even in this instance. You're going to have to earn it the old fashioned way.

2014-08-05[Mortified Penguin]: No, what happened was that you forced me to change the format of my poem and take responsibility for it, prompting me to make a "Written by [Mortified Penguin]" poem in response.

But there is precedence on Elftown of transferring badges from clone accounts to regular accounts, which was set years ago when [Sagacious Turkey] had numerous clones he submitted art and stuff with.

2014-08-05[Flisky]: With Linderel. And this was done on a case by case basis. I'm still reviewing your case. Give it time. Final decisions are not made, but until that decision is made, stick to the program of earning the badge. No worries, Mort, we'll have an answer for you soon. (Although I might suggest posting more poems on the Daily Poem page because it's abysmally empty.) I need to make sure no violations were made in the submissions. As of yet (thank you for doing that) I haven't found any. But we will have to revoke perfumed ignition's badges if this is the case.

2014-08-05[Mortified Penguin]: I will of course give you a reasonable amount of time to review the case, but I won't be dropping this. Just like with my veteran guide badge. It took years of arguing, but I finally got what I was owed.

Would you like some help reviewing? I know where to find most anything you might be looking for and quickly too. I could have this review wrapped up in under an hour if you let me know what you need to find.

2014-08-05[Mortified Penguin]: But if you want to just cut through all the needless red tape and give a member that submitted 5 daily poems the badge to match his efforts, feel free.

2014-08-05[Flisky]: It's mostly a collaboration with the other Daily Poem boss, who was not online at the moment. But I need to sleep as it's almost 1 in the morning. We'll have this wrapped up tomorrow. I'll PM you personally. ^^

2014-08-06[Mortified Penguin]: No PM needed, I'll be arriving at your house shortly to stare at you while you sleep. Just come get me from your closet when you're ready.

2014-09-02[Mortified Penguin]: I understand that reviews on Elftown can take several years at a time, due to their incredibly complicated nature, but I was just wondering if any sort of conclusion had been made.
